"I hope," Rodriguez writes, "to peel away the destructive false narratives that have been told to us about Israel, about Jews, about Palestinians...I am an anti-Zionist Jew. We are not a myth. A Judaism free of Zionism, free of Israel, is not a myth. Jewish-Muslim solidarity and love is not a myth."

Sainwood’s naked discussions of sex, mental illness, fear, hope, & longing beg the reader into their own self reflection. Cis, trans, queer, straight, our bodies all pray to something. How do you worship? What lies deep inside you? What must you let out? @billiewrites.bsky.social

In the language of rebuke and defiance, Calypso Jane Selwyn takes us inside the myth that is woman, and traces the ancient right through to the now. WOLFCANNON asks after love, grief, and what if the Roman Republic had a giant wolf mecha you could fuck?

My book is published! It’s a critical take on how emotions shape conflicts about LGBT rights and repair in equality law, gender recognition, bans on conversion practices, and sex education in schools.
